Our doctor at the Beverly Hills Eye Center referred us to Dr Domínguez, Modern Eye Optometry, in Lake Forest. Since 2018 we have been with Dr Domínguez and his team; we have only received excellent, professional and caring services. Our fears were allayed immediately, and time and time again Dr Domínguez' expertise in optometry has been demonstrated. I had an opportunity to also see an ophthalmologist that when I mentioned I was under Domínguez' care, he said "Ah you are in great hands." Thank you Dr. Domínguez, you and your team are definitely and highly recommended for the personal caring reception you always give your clients and because of your level of expertise, use of updated technology, and flexibility in seeing us.

I am extremely dissatisfied with the lack of communication and the significant decline in service…read more I have been coming here for over 20 years, which makes these experiences especially disappointing. Yesterday, I received a text message asking me to schedule an appointment. After I provided a date, the conversation shifted to a message regarding my mother's outstanding payment. My mother and I live in separate households, and I found it inappropriate and unprofessional for this information to be communicated directly to me. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. In May 2026, my appointment was canceled by the front office, and I experienced an unacceptable level of rudeness during the phone call. It is disappointing to see how much this place has changed over the years. After more than 20 years of loyalty, I expected a much higher standard of professionalism, communication, and respect. These repeated experiences have significantly impacted my confidence in the quality of service provided, and I hope management takes these concerns seriously.

I understand if you're busy and that's wonderful but advise me if you don't have anything for the next couple of weeks which I would completely understand. I would expect to be treated with kindness like a customer when you have a business that depends on them.

My wife purchased two pairs of glasses from this shop--one regular pair and one pair of sunglasses…read more While the regular glasses were fine, the sunglasses had issues from the very beginning, as the lenses frequently came loose. Because of this, we had to visit the shop at least five times for repairs. When the problem persisted, I requested a lens replacement. At that time, the shop explained that they would insert a special material between the frame and the lenses to solve the issue once and for all. They also promised that if the same problem happened again, they would replace the entire set of lenses. All of this was handled within the warranty period. However, when the same issue occurred again recently and we visited the shop, we were told that a replacement was no longer possible because the warranty period had expired. This was very disappointing, as there had been a clear promise that the lenses would be replaced if the issue recurred. From a customer's perspective, it felt as though the trust we had placed in the shop's word had been broken. I am writing this review not simply to express dissatisfaction, but in the hope that other customers will not experience the same inconvenience. I also sincerely hope that this shop will place greater value on keeping promises made to customers and maintaining trust in its business practices. By listening carefully to even small inconveniences and responding responsibly when problems arise, the shop has an opportunity to earn greater trust and positive feedback from its customers.

This time I am taking the time to share the amazing customer service I received from James Mares at La Paz Optometric. I have been with La Paz Optometric for 30 years at least. Dr. Yamamoto is awesome; the staff is courteous. I am in once a year and that is it. About two weeks ago I went in to have my glasses frame fixed or replaced. They called me a few days later and I picked up my glasses. The next day I noticed that I could not see as clearly as I did before. I swore that I had the wrong prescription lenses. I called and demanded to speak to the Office Manager. I was ready for a battle on the phone (shame on me). James very nicely said no problem come in tomorrow and I can check it for you. I went in earlier than expected. Now am ready to be a "karen" if need be. Well, I did not have to wait long even though I showed up 45 minutes early. James was very nice, took the glasses, came back and said the prescription was correct. I said how do I know that it is? I could see fine before and now not so much. He did a quick test, and it looked like my sight had changed. Thinking to myself "great now I need to get a new prescription, and it has not been a year since I bought these glasses " James suggested having my eyes checked again by Dr. Yamamoto who happened to be there. I agreed and waited 10 more minutes. Dr. checked me again and in fact my sight had changed a bit. The entire time, James had the most delightful attitude and made me feel like I am a valued patient/customer. He took the time and with kindness he disarmed me. I offered to pay for the new exam, I do not like to take advantage, I just want to see. I highly recommend la Paz Optometric. I will be seeing them for another 30 plus years with the grace of God. Superb level of customer service. M Lopez

Compassionate Care and an Excellent Eye Doctor…read more I recently took my mother, who is disabled, to La Paz Optometry in Mission Viejo to see Dr. Mimi Truong, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, Dr. Truong treated my mother with the utmost respect, patience, and genuine care. She took the time to make sure my mother felt comfortable throughout the appointment and never rushed the process. It meant a lot to see a physician show that level of compassion and professionalism. Dr. Truong was also extremely thorough during the eye examination. She carefully evaluated my mother's vision and eye health and took the time to explain everything in a clear and helpful way. She provided a lot of valuable information that helped us better understand my mother's eye health and what to look out for moving forward. La Paz Optometric Center has been serving Southern California communities for decades and offers comprehensive eye care services, including detailed eye exams, advanced diagnostic testing, and a wide selection of eyewear. Their doctors use modern technology to detect and manage eye conditions early and help patients maintain healthy vision. (Optometric Centers in Southern, CA) Our visit confirmed exactly what their reputation suggests: a professional clinic with knowledgeable doctors who truly care about their patients. If you are looking for an eye doctor in the Mission Viejo area, I highly recommend La Paz Optometry and Dr. Mimi Truong.

There's a separate waiting room area towards the exam rooms that is very nice and clean. Happy to have tried America's Best!

When I raised concerns, staff were dismissive -- one employee rolled her eyes at me.
